Repeal of the 'Contract Exemption'

In January 2008, Section 53 of the Road Safety Act 2006 repeals section 75(1)(b) of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 which is commonly known as the “contract exemption”. This previosly exempted vehicles engaged on contracts lasting not less than seven days from private hire vehicle (PHV) licensing requirements.
